Calm and reassure the injured person.
Insulate the injured person from cold ground by putting a sleeping pad or blanket underneath him. You may have to logroll the person if a spinal injury is suspected.
Maintain a comfortable body temperature for the injured person. Cover him with a blanket, replace wet clothing with dry clothing and protect him from the wind or sun.
Elevate the injured person's legs by 8 to 10 inches. This will increase blood flow to essential organs.
